Hello, CEO! Don’t Play With Me!

“What did I tell you!” Brina immediately took the jar of cookies that Giselle had hidden right under her favorite blanket. As was Giselle’s habit when she was out of town, especially for a long time; she brought her favorite blanket to accompany her to sleep.

“Brina, please. Don’t take everything. Leave one jar. When I’m stressed, my only distraction is chocolate.”

Brina would not listen to Giselle’s whining. It didn’t matter that the girl’s eyes were looking at her pleadingly. Not to mention, all of Brina’s behavior was blocked. Even though her assistant was helping Giselle to arrange clothes in the available cabinets. Even the model’s toiletries so as not to bother her when she was in there.

“Please,” Giselle said once again. “Without chocolate, I feel empty and have no energy.”

“You’re talking too much poetry, Giselle. You can do anything without chocolate.” Brina put the jar into her bag. “Alright. My job is done. Your medicine and vitamins are in the top drawer of the nightstand beside the bed. Don’t miss taking your vitamins, you have a busy schedule, Giselle. Take care of your health.”

Giselle spluttered. “You really are a wolf!”

“Let it be. The important thing is that you don’t overeat chocolate.” Brina laughed. “I’ll go first. I’ll see you on finals night. We’ll come support you.”

Since this conversation was about her support during the quarantine, Giselle’s face changed immediately. She smiled widely and nodded confidently. “I will try my best.”

“Don’t push yourself too hard. Justin is very happy you made it to the contestant list but don’t get your hopes up. There are still years to come where you can show off your skills. Use this quarantine time to learn more about modeling. And you should also learn a lot about general knowledge. You know, on the final night, it’s not just about your beautiful body and face, but your critical thinking skills and how you as models respond to the world’s movements.”

Giselle nodded obediently again. “I’ve made my own agenda for studying. You just relax. I’ll try my best.”

Brina is confident that Giselle will not mess with her words. Her determination is strong to give her best in every performance. Even jobs where Giselle is the main star, never get complaints from the parties who work together. The SEO marketing team said that the impact of Giselle’s appearance in the modeling scene and the SEO brand really showed a significant upward direction. Many increasingly believe that SEO is a reputable brand to be proud of.

“Alright, Giselle, I’ll take my leave. Don’t act up and behave yourself. Don’t let it happen like before again.”

Giselle spluttered. “That’s his fault. Instead of apologizing, she scolded me. It’s like this big me is getting in the way. Damn it!”

Brina laughed. “Never mind. You’ll be together for the quarantine. Don’t stand out with the melee.”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“Do you think I’m the one who started the riot?” Giselle was even more annoyed by Brina’s words but could not get angry. Because Brina was one of the people close to her and never complained about anything Giselle did.

“I’m going, yeah. Justin called me earlier. I have something to take care of with Irena regarding your schedule after quarantine.” Brina gave a brief hug goodbye.

“Okay.” Giselle replied no less tightly and released her assistant immediately, letting Brina exit the room without the need for accompaniment to the lobby. Because she had to prepare for the introductory event in the afternoon that would continue until dinner. It was still a free event but it was still binding and could not make Giselle act as she pleased.

In the end he had to let his favorite jar of chocolate go home with Brina. Though she wanted to eat while accompanying her study, ah no, just a quick read of the news about this world. lest she be too blind and not anything that happens in this country.

“Never mind, it’s better to be prepared. Who knows, I might make some new friends. Or not, huh?” Giselle chuckled. But remembering the annoying girl named Harvey made her splutter in annoyance. “Why should I find out about that girl. I admit, she’s attractive. Even I, a woman, can’t take my eyes off Harvey’s face.”

Giselle immediately sorted out which clothes were appropriate to wear at a relaxed event later. Not long after, there was a knock on her bedroom door. Daisy appeared there with a large paper bag. It looks like she was bothered to eat immediately Giselle asked to come in.

“Am I disturbing you, Miss?”

Giselle wagged her finger lightly. “Don’t be so formal. I’m not your boss, am I?” She laughed. Which, because of her words, made Daisy relax and get used to it.

“As stated in the schedule, the introduction ceremony will be held on the 22nd floor at the swimming pool as well as the banquet dinner. The dresses to be worn have been prepared because part of the event is sponsored by some famous boutiques. There will also be a group photoshoot before the opening of the event tomorrow morning.”

Giselle just raised her thumb.

“For hair and makeup, all contestants are asked to gather in a separate room before entering the event room.”

It didn’t matter to Giselle, “Alright, I’ll get ready first. There’s still half an hour left, right?”

“You’re right, Giselle. Then, if you’ll excuse me. I’ll wait in the make-up room.”

Giselle let Daisy out of her room. The door, which had been open, was closed again and Giselle deliberately locked it. She needed to clean herself up in peace. It didn’t take long before she was ready to be made up according to the theme. All she had to do was apply skincare to protect her skin and pack a few small essentials in her carry-on bag.

The penguin tail dress makes Giselle’s posture look much taller than usual. The right choice of heels also adds value to this chic navy and white dress.

She deliberately let her long hair down after giving it vitamins. Keeping it from being damaged by frequent styling is an obligation. Justin once said, hair is a woman’s crown. whose beauty can bring men to their knees. Other girls, meanwhile, are envious and want to have healthy, shiny hair like Giselle has. Giselle has proven that for a long time.

Just out of her room, she bumped into an annoying runner.

“Apparently you’re in the room next to mine?” he asked with a flat face but Giselle could tell, there was a small smirk appearing at the corner of his lips. As if deliberately teasing Giselle for some reason.

“Are you distracted?” Giselle continued to walk casually. Not caring about the girl who was now walking beside her.

“Not at all. I just happened to have a friend.”

Giselle grinned slightly. “No friends apparently?”

“Wouldn’t that be the same as disgracing yourself, Giselle?” Harvey chuckled. His steps stopped right at the elevator that would take them to the floor they had been told about.

“Maybe,” Giselle said with a faint smile. The elevator doors opened, but no one else in the hotel was using it. To Giselle’s relief, they headed up to the 21st floor together.

“It’s going to be a boring two weeks,” Harvey complained, his eyes fixed on the numbers that changed with each passing floor. “I hope you’re not bored, Giselle.”

Giselle’s brow furrowed deeply. “What do you mean?”

Harvey’s grin meant a lot to Giselle. But since the elevator stopped right at their destination floor, Harvey didn’t want to talk anymore. he chose to step ahead of Giselle as the elevator doors opened. at the same time, several contestants were there. Familiarizing themselves with each other with laughter full of pleasantries.

Meanwhile, Giselle didn’t really care about any of them, just said a quick hello and didn’t want to get involved with the conversation. I don’t know. Giselle felt like she was the new center of attention. Maybe it’s because she’s a new face, but she’s already had the chance to compete with other contestants who are far more qualified than her.

Like Brina and Justin said, it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t win. After all, he doesn’t have much experience. He just wants to know how dark the modeling world is. It was his curiosity that brought him here.

“Wow, I didn’t expect the rumors to be true. SEO Fashion’s trusted model, even I had a hard time getting a contract with SEO. I’m lucky to know and meet you here, Giselle.” One of the contestants, Charlotte, approached. Smiling broadly, she extended her hand to Giselle. Giselle welcomed it immediately as she was still reading the situation.

In a place where many girls are beautiful and have well-proportioned bodies. The eyes that looked at her sharply were also full of questions as well, judging what Giselle was like.

“Thank you for the welcome.”

Charlotte leaned closer and whispered softly. “Be careful with Harvey. She’s… a troubled girl. I saw you with him earlier.”
